Summary

Chalk deals with life at Galfast High School, a "thoroughly modern comprehensive - where only the science department matters a damn, where exam result league tables are the only reality, and only the gifted kids get an education because it's so much more worthwhile (easy)".

The main characters are Deputy Headmaster Eric Slatt (David Bamber), Suzy Travis (Nicola Walker), Mr Nixon (John Wells), Dan McGill (Martin Ball), Mr Carkdale (John Grillo) and Mr Humboldt (Andrew Livingston).
